| 0 | 1. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for relocating the south driveway westward at 3230 E. Kenwood Boulevard, the McLaren Mansion, an individually designated historic property, for Andy Nunemaker.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is an unusual landscaping request. Most of what's there right now was done by UW-M in the 1940s and 1980s. A new garage was approved two years ago. The applicant would like to extend the driveway to connect to Lake Park Dr. A new cut-through will be done in the wall and DPW does not object to a curb cut at the proposed location. Staff recommends approval.

| 0 | 3. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement of the front porch, window repairs, and installation of new storm windows at 114 - 116 E. Brown Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Brandon Currie.
Minutes note: Mr. Robinson recused himself as he'll be speaking on the client's behalf.
Mr. Tim Askin said staff has no idea of any part of the porch is original; there are no clear permit records. He thinks the porch is at the end of its life and didn't not add any value. Applicant is seeking retroactive approval of demolition of the porch and a new porch was constructed without a permit. Mr. Robinson drew up a replacement porch on behalf of the owner. The owner has to comply with the Brewer's Hill overlay and components of the existing porch cannot be used as they don't comply with the overlay requirements. The proposed top railing also does not follows HPC guidelines. Staff recommends approval of the design concept and work with the applicant to tweak the porch to make it acceptable; conditions are outlined in the staff report.
Nicole Robins - attorney for owner
Approve with conditions.

| 0 | 4. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting the appeal of the Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of rooftop solar panels at 2015 N. Lake Drive, in the North Point South Historic District, for John Hambrook.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this solar panel installation is at a corner and the location is the only feasible location for this property. There is no way to eliminate the visibility on this property. Staff recommends approval since Windsor is basically a glorified alley. All of the solar installations that staff can recall are mid-block and face the side. In this situation, it's a side installation that faces the street.
Jennifer Larson - Arch Solar - the only way to get solar efficiency is on the proposed location.
Ald. Bauman would like more information on legal considerations if we deny this in total or deny partially.

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement of rustic bridges at 3233 E. Kenwood Blvd., in the North Point North Historic District for Milwaukee County Parks.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the proposal is to replace 4 bridges in the park basically in-kind (with one bridge being moved 20 feet up the trail), but of similar materials. Staff recommends approval with conditions outlined in the Staff Report.
Chris Kubacki - Milwaukee County parks - he agrees with the conditions.

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement siding at 2804 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District for Jordan Morales.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the house dates from 1920 and would originally have had wood clapboard siding. The gables are still wood shingles, but the aluminum siding is on the first floor and the rear gable. The siding has been in place since at least 1979 and is in pretty rough shape. The applicant got an estimate of over $46,000 to replace the siding with wood, so he would prefer SmartSide siding. Staff recommends denial of the SmartSide siding. If approved, staff would recommend a smooth finish and other criteria included in the recommendations in the Staff Report.
Jordan Morales - property owner. The clapboard underneath is totally ruined. It would be prohibitively expensive to use wood and he would be looking at a $46,000 bill if the clapboard underneath is in bad shape. He would be open to using the smooth SmartSide siding, but not the size the staff would support.
Hold until spring and do exploratory work to see what conditions exist under the siding.
Staff recommended getting a quote for a smooth product in the meantime.
Hold for 3 months.

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement windows and stucco repair at 2610 W. Port Sunlight Way, in the Garden Homes Historic District for Wesley S. Bentil.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the applicant and owner received violations for doing work without a COA. He is seeking retroactive approval for installed vinyl windows and would like to replace more windows with vinyl windows. The applicant purchased the property from the city in 2018. The work also violates Garden Homes guidelines.
Staff recommends denial of the vinyl replacement windows. Staff does approve the stucco repair with conditions detailed in the Staff Report.
Wesley Bentil - owner. Most of the windows were busted out as the property was broken into repeatedly. Seven to 10 windows were replaced with vinyl.
The Commission has approved aluminum, rather than wood windows, due to financial constraints in this neighborhood.
Hold and schedule in 6 months.
Grant a mothball certificate for this property for 6 months.

| 0 | 8. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for changes to a previously approved elevator addition to the Eagles Club, 2401 W. Wisconsin Avenue, an individually-designated historic property, for Eagles Auditorium, Inc.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the project was approved at the May meeting, but the applicant revised plans, so that is what is before the Commission. This proposal lacks a brick veneer; has a pre-cast concrete facade and there are other minor changes.
